A System Of Evil Tubes

~ BLOGS & NEW MEDIA really suck… if you’re old-media, or a traditional power-holder used to controlling the flow and interpretation of news and events, that is.

There’s another group who don’t like the conservative presence in the blogosphere and new mediasphere, and that’s radicals. They’re used to insinuation – politicization – isolate – control in taking over institutions, political issues, and agendae. Info breaking out at an inopportune moment can just ruin your whole revolting day. There you are seeking to refresh and regenerate the whole world by stealth and cleverness and patient pushing, and some snoop gets in there and futzes the mix.

Teh Eebil Binkz

Anglican leaders & media around the world used to hate Teh Binky, because news that might have previously been reported months late on page 7, when nothing could be said or done about it, could– in the new way– be reported as it happened, and people could act and respond accordingly, and actually deflect and delay the devolution of that Christian denomination into another tool of the progressive soft-fascist revolution. Then, more blogs proliferate; then real issues and timely news break out and are discussed– it’s generally a disaster for the power-brokers and schemers.

So the desire in the U.S., via the UN, and popping up here and there and everywhere like a many-headed hydra, to ‘moderate’ the blogosphere and new media. Too much truth! Too many thoughtful opinions! Experts openly mocked! Newspapers in financial decline! Very important politicians and leaders not blindly obeyed! Pre-cooked consensus not accepted!

American Political Boss, Ahoy

Watch Obama as he HRC-like limits the scope of free expression, uppity conscience, and individual resistance to what he wants. Marginalizing political enemies is a classic fascist tactic– in this case, Obama is more and more like a Boss, the embodiment of the revolution, the one voice of the true new America. Sooner or later, he will have to woo or weigh in on the new media/ blog thing, to protect his agenda. Witness how the blogs struck down so many of his creepy cabinet appointees– he dumped them not because of their crimes, but because they were outed.

So too the OIC/ Muslim Brotherhood/ Durban II agenda is still working to make Islam the untouchable creed, and rule all factual or fair comment otherwise as internationally illegal. There’s nothing the international Jihad & Leftist coalition would like more than to silence the right wing of new media & blogs forever, by hook or by crook. All this chattering off the grid has taken a lot of the wind out of their sails.

Hey Hey, Ho Ho

~ SO ACCORDING TO THE BRAINS-TRUST at the YorkU Brownshirt Club, the Israeli ‘apartheid’ wall is very, very bad. Not because it keeps a high proportion of Palestinian suicide-bombers out of Israel, but because, you know, it’s, like, TOTALLY bad. And mean.

No matter what the PLO, Fatah, Hamas, and the other alphabet-soup of Jew-hating groups have done, no matter how much terror the malevolent troll Arafat bought and paid for– the Joooos are to blame. No matter if Israel was always meant to be an Arab-Israel Jew-Muslim-Christian nation, and the Arab world rejected that, and the local Arab leaders in 1947 dragged their people into and immediate war of extermination of Jews and the elimination of Israel, forever poisoning the well of co-existence and cooperation. No matter.

Seeking A Faith

There’s yer problem right there. Facts or history or reality don’t matter: this is a battle of appearances, moral high-ground, media market-share, and who can slap the most victim-labels on themselves the fastest. Enter your Israel/ Jew hating islamists, and useful idiot leftists in academia. Hey hey. Ho ho. Any cause in a storm, and especially when you get it all served up steaming hot in heaping helpings via the leftard media, international socialism, and international Jihadism. Lefty crusaders!– MARCH!

Have you ever known a self-destructive person, in the grip of lies? Doesn’t it break your heart? But it does neither you nor them any good to buy into the lies and dysfunctional universe they live in as a way of helping. You have to love them enough to let them fail, and to be willing to help them when they begin– even a little– to wake up from the lies.

Hate You Long Time!

Face it, O YorkU terror-lovers: long before the Gaza War, the wall, 1972, 1967, 0r 1947– some 20th Century Arabs in the area of Israel have had fascistic and anti-semitic tendencies, and killed Jews. Just because. It’s what Muhammad said, right? Not all Muslims bothered to get that ahte on, but it’s been the deliberate effort and vision of The Muslim Brotherhood to destroy Israel, and subjugate the West, and the world.

If all Jews left and Israel itself were returned to deserted pre-20th century land, the grievances and jihad and complaining would continue, because most of the Middle East is a repressive nightmare, full of delusions and blaming everyone else for the state of their countries. If your choices are sharia police-state, Jihad, or moving to the West, you see how we got where we are.

Like a virus, anti-semitism and Israel-hating have travelled with those who could get out, even though here is not there. And yet, like an old, tattered bug-infested comfort-blanket, the old hate feels familiar and comfortable, and so it spreads out here, and finds willing minions in the disaffected sons and daughters of Western relativism, looking for some passionate cause to attach themselves to: so the end up the unwitting mouthpieces of fascist-Islamist Muslim Brotherhood.

Humans have an amazing capacity to believe utter insanity, even when their lying eyes and biased common-sense tell them the opposite is the case. Sadly, ideology-factories like YorkU do not educate and free the students from such blindness, but deepen the stupid, and thus glorify violence, hatred, and lies. All this at an institution of ‘Higher Education.’

Ironic, huh? ~

RELATED NEWS: York [University] President Shoukri releases a long overdue public statement.

The Obama Show.

We're watching him watching us watching him.

“As Glenn Reynolds writes, the legacy media have done “more investigations into Joe the Plumber in 24 hours than they’ve done on Barack Obama in two years.” The media have internalized Joseph Conrad’s famous aphorism from The Heart of Darkness and they’re in the process of completely destroying Joe the Plumber, as an object lesson for anyone else who dares Think Different, just as they’ve already successfully done with Sarah Palin, just as they did 20 years ago with Dan Quayle. Occasionally, an apostate such as Ronald Reagan, Clarance Thomas, Rush Limbaugh or George W. Bush is able to survive such exposure and go on to powerful accomplishments, which is all the more reason why the media must destroy the Other, the Alien, before his message becomes too powerful.”

~ IT’S ON ALL THE CHANNELS, 24/7.. The Obama Show. We’re watching him watching us watching him. He’s ‘on’ the reality-TV show whenever he’s in public, and living the Obama POTUS character. Whoever he is and what he thinks and does in reality is none of our business, he has decided.

The Obama show is a game-show where people are being bought with their own money, and the money of their chuldren, and their children’s children. It’s a comedy, where the joke is on us; the Obama show is also like one of those Idol shows, where he and his expert cronies sit in judgement over the rest of us. The Obama Show is also a lot like the series ‘Lost’– endless surprises, arbitrary events, wandering plot, and secrets and soap operatic whatnot. That’s because fundamentally, the Obama show is a psycho-drama, because his endlessly changing public self– being no things to no people, in the end– is his mask, and behind the mask is a man with no face.

Obama is a cruel fool. He’s cruel because he’s just another ideologue, playing with people’s lives. He’s a fool, because his soft-fascist blinders will not allow him to see reality. The Obama show is doomed to cause suffering and regret and rejection because it’s just another fictional star-vehicle political TV show, with commercials commanding our money, and plots pandering to our basest instincts.

What this means for the opponents of Obamism is clear: he’s a man with a lot to hide, lies to tell, and nobody lives a life without evidence. Whilst re-invigorating itself, the Republicans need to expose The Obama Show for what it is: a song and dance of endless self-concealment and self-reinvention. Let’s get him to be one person, so we can can pin him down on what he is, what he has said and done, who he knows, and all the other details he’s still trying to hide from everybody.

Obysmal

Be Afraid:“Obama’s support for Freeman, like his support for Samantha Power and Susan Rice, who largely share Freeman’s view, make clear that contrary to what Obama’s supporters believe, hostility toward the American alliance with Israel has played and will continue to pay a central role in determining Obama’s strategies vis-à-vis the Arab and Islamic worlds. If, as Freeman has argued, the only reason the Arabs and Muslims hate the U.S. is its support for Israel, then the U.S. should be able to end the war simply by abandoning Israel and reaching out to the Arabs.”
